The 5Strands Comprehensive Gut Health Test is designed for those who want the most complete picture of their current food intolerances. With 1,020 items tested, this hair screening goes beyond common categories like dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables, and also includes additives, superfoods, probiotics, and more. Each food is classified into one of four intolerance levels, giving you clarity on what your body can process comfortably and what may be creating stress. The non-invasive process requires only a hair sample, making testing simple and accessible from home. Your personalized results are ready within 4 days, helping you take immediate action to improve digestion, reduce discomfort, and support overall balance.

• DISCOVER SPECIFIC DIETARY TRIGGERS. The screening pinpoints which foods items your gut may have trouble breaking down properly. This internal gut stress can turn into physical symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, acne, headaches, and joint pain. Identifying these triggers allows you to make targeted dietary adjustments that can reduce discomfort and support better nutrient absorption.
• CLEAR INTOLERANCE LEVELS. The tested food items are sorted into four categories: no significant response, mild, moderate, or high intolerance. This format helps you easily see which foods may be tolerated in small amounts and which should be avoided for a reset period, allowing your body to heal and rebalance.
• COVERS 30 DISTINCT FOOD AND ADDITIVE CATEGORIES. Our hair analysis test evaluates items across proteins, dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seafood, mushrooms, herbs, and spices. It also screens for common additives such as preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, food dyes, sweeteners, probiotics, and prebiotics, giving you a detailed look at potential triggers from both whole foods and processed ingredients.
• NON-INVASIVE COLLECTION PROCESS. A small hair sample is all that is required, collected in the comfort of your own home. This method avoids the hassle of needles while giving you reliable data about your body’s interaction with a wide variety of foods.
• FAST, DETAILED DIGITAL REPORT. Within 4 days of your sample reaching the lab, you’ll receive a full analysis sent to the registered email. The report provides a practical foundation to adjust your diet and create a plan for long-term digestive health.
